“Eric kept me informed, Bauer can be a handful but was going room to room to find his new friend Eric. I hesitate to give him a good review because I don’t want to share him. 10/10, Eric for the win!”


“Kayla was absolutely amazing with both of our 50+ lb dogs. One of our dogs is anxious around new people, but Kayla’s calm demeanor made them fast friends. She was able to schedule last minute and was very accommodating to our schedule. She left the house spotless, kept the dogs on an active schedule, and regularly updated us on how they were doing. We will definitely be booking again”


“Dom is awesome! They had a very calm demeanor, we felt instantly comfortable with them, & so did Maven :). They obviously care a lot about the work they do with animals. They were great at communication, sent pics & updates. We were so thankful for the peace of mind of knowing our doggo was being well take care of & in good hands while we were away. A very positive first Rover experience, we hope to see them again!”


“Rebecca did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation! She sent pictures multiple times a day, played with them, and took really good care of them. We would definitely rebook with her!”


About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!

“Thank you Tracy for taking such good care of Penny while we were out of town. Appreciated the daily updates and that you cleaned up the space before we came home! We hope to be able to use your services again!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and I’ve been taking care of them ever since I was 10. Over the years I’ve spent many days and weekends taking care of fur babies for family and friends. I love each of them as they’re my own. I currently work full time during the week, 7am-3pm so I am usually available every evening and on the weekends. I am very active after work. I can accommodate any special care an animal requires. If they need stimulation and play time, I’ll be there. If they just need someone to keep company and cuddle with, I won’t complain. I have my own dog named Kahlúa, she used to be very high maintenance but as she’s gotten older she’s mellowed out quite a bit so I’ve experienced most of the phases.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I previously offered pet sitting through Rover and absolutely loved it—we even ended up adopting our sweet dog, Rocky, after falling in love with the experience! 🐕❤️ Rocky is a friendly, well-socialized dog who gets along great with other pups. My kids have grown up around animals and are gentle, respectful, and love giving pets and treats (with your permission, of course!). Your dog will be treated like part of the family here. We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe playtime and potty breaks. I’m also happy to care for pets with special needs, administer medication, or follow any specific routines your dog is used to. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to provide loving, dependable care. Let’s chat and set up a meet and greet! 🐶🐾 During the school year, I’m available between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., or after 4 p.m., since I pick up my kids from school. Let me know what works best for you! I offer a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your dog will feel right at home. Whether it’s for a day, a weekend, or longer, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

“Hattie did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. She sent regular updates and my pups were so well cared for. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs and my home in her care. I will definitely ask her to help us out again in the future!”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, and caring for them has always been my greatest joy. I was blessed to share 14 wonderful years with my last fur baby, and through that time, I truly understood how hard it is to leave your beloved pet behind when traveling. The biggest worry was always whether they were getting the same love and attention I gave them every day. That’s why I started dog sitting—to give pet parents the peace of mind that their babies are in the best hands. Since I work from home, I can provide constant care, affection, and companionship, ensuring your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. With me, they’ll get all the attention they need, so you can fully relax knowing they’re in a home filled with love! I work full time from home, so I can spend all day and night with your fur baby! My work is very flexible, so I am able to do walks and playtime whenever we want to! I have a 6ft fully fenced back yard great for running and playing! I also have a doggie door so they can go in and out whenever they want! I have dog beds in the home for use, if you do crate, no problem, just bring along their crate and we will accommodate whatever they are used to doing at home!

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12. I was always first the person my extended family would ask to watch their pets whenever they went on a vacation or needed extra help. I am most familiar with hunting/sporting breeds, but I am open to meeting all kinds of dogs! I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty open. I will be available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, as well as some evenings. I am more than willing to come over to help let your pup out, feed them, play with them, and help assist with any other tasks if needed. I am a fairly active person and I enjoy going on long walks with my dog, Remy, and hopefully in the future your dog as well!

About: I’m a fire fighter military and civilian so I work ever third day and so I’m looking for something that I can do in my off time that I enjoy. I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to watch your pets and how crazy life can be. I have two dogs of my own and they are my children so I understand wanting to leave your pets in good hands. I frequent the dog parks in Sioux and South Sioux City so I would be more then happy to take your dog there. I’m open to all breeds of dogs, cats, etc. and I know how some times you just want your pet to be worn out when you get home so I will do my very best to do so. I have my own dog who I care for and spoil. I’m a pretty active person and my dog goes just about every where with me. I have a pretty good size yard, a dog park close by, and tons of toys, treats and puzzles available for dogs. Also can have a dog available to play with or can just have one on one time with your pet.


“Kathi was the perfect choice for our house/dog sitter. She gave our two dachshunds lots of TLC and they took to her right away. She has a wonderful way with dogs. Kathi also took great care of our home while we were out of the country. She will always be welcome in our home!”
